    Pictures with red and green (blue) were taken with a flashlight inside.
    Top hinged with thumbscrew clasp for internal access.
    The Lanterns are close in size, however not identical dimensions.
    The port is 11 1/4" tall and the starboard a is 10 1/2" tall
    Both have a 6" x 6" footprint.
    The guy that sold me these told me that his dad bought these in Hong Kong during ww2 era. I have no way to validate this info, however the story seems plausible.
    Thanks
